For IEM cologne attendees, are you concerned about Hantavirus? Do we have some sort of plan or understanding on how to not become a superspreader event? We’re just a bit over a month away from the day and I’m wondering if it’s going to be safe to attend.

@ggsarzi Hanna is not as infections as eg Covid, you would need real close intimate contact to catch it according to experts. Wouldn’t worry. None of the returning German passengers had it.

@ModMyMachine The Dutch did and there’s a lot of Dutch at iem cologne. I don’t plan to kiss them in the mouth but what if they spit when they talk. I think covering our drinks and not eating in a crowded place might be good precautions
